Effect of temperature on gill morphology and ion transporter distribution in the gills of Koi carp (\kur{Cyprinus carpio L.}) / Effect of temperature on gill morphology and ion transporter distribution in the gills of Koi carp (\kur{Cyprinus carpio L.})

KRATOCHVILOVÁ, Hana January 2008 (has links)
The effect of temperature on the gill morphology and ion transporter distribution in the branchial epithelium of a freshwater teleost, the Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio, L.) was examined. Three different water temperatures were used to detect changes in expression level of transporter proteins in the gill epithelial cells. With increasing temperature, the expression level of all three ion transporters studied declined, and the gill lamellae protruded out of the cell mass, thus increasing the surface area of the branchial epithelium. A hypothetical organization of the transporter proteins within the ionocytes is proposed.

Ověření dědičnosti barev okrasného kapra koi s využitím metod genomových manipulací / The assessment of colour inheritance in ornamental koi carp with the use of genome manipulation methods

ŠTĚCH, Luděk January 2009 (has links)
The goal of this thesis was to assess colour inheritance in Showa tricolour variety of koi carp (black basis, white and red signs). Fish of the same colouration were pair-mated. Colouration of fingerlings was assessed in one day age. Colouration was observed in two forms, like melanin pigmentation and non-melanin pigmentation (black- pigmented and gold -pigmented fingerlings). In the tests, gynogenesis was employed, transmissing only mother`s genome to offspring. Gynogenesis was practiced in RIFCH USB in Vodnany. Gynogenetic offspring was further photographically documented to assess colouration of fingerlings and relationship between both variants of colouration. Fry from propagation was bred in ponds to the size stage of advanced fry (Kr; 90-day old, size 5- 6 cm). In this size, fingerlings were caught from breeding ponds, counted and further documented to check phenotype segregation.

Gustatory and olfactory feeding responces in Japanese koi carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Barnard, Philip 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Animal Sciences. Aquaculture))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / Chemo-attraction and –stimulation facilitate the initial location (olfactory response) and final consumption (gustatory response) of food in the feeding process of fish. Chemo-attractants or chemo-stimulants is therefore generally included in feeds for especially slow-feeding species to help reduce water fouling and to promote feed efficiency and growth rate through improved feed intake. Considering this, a study was performed to evaluate the attraction and stimulation potential of selected cereals and free amino acids in diets for Japanese koi carp (Cyprinus carpio). Results are presented on the comparative evaluation of five cereals (maize, sorghum, wheat, rye and triticale), raw and cooked forms of maize and concentrations of betaine and selected free amino acids (alanine, arginine, lysine and methionine), as well as their additive effect.

Enhanced vaccination and antibiotics uptake by low intensity sonophoresis in fish

Labarca, Cristóbal Cobo 30 March 2016 (has links)
Eine effektive Strategie zur Verhinderung der Ausbreitung von Infektionskrankheiten in der Aquakultur ist die Anwendung geeigneter Präventionsmaßnahmen, insbesondere die Impfung von Fischen. Das effektivste Impfverfahren stellt die individuelle Injektion des Impfstoffes dar. Bei Milliarden von Fischen jährlich ist dies jedoch sehr zeit- und kostenintensiv. Bei Säugetieren gilt Niederfrequenz-Sonophorese (LFS) als eine der fortschrittlichsten Technologien zur transdermalen Verabreichung von Wirkstoffen. So entstand die Idee, bei Fischen die Aufnahme von Wirkstoffen während einer Tauchbadbehandlung mit Hilfe von LFS zu verbessern. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, dass mit einer Beschallungsintensität von etwa 60 mW/cm^2 die Aufnahme eines Bakterienimpfstoffs in das Kiemengewebe von Regenbogenforellen um den Faktor 240 erhöht werden konnte. Bei dieser Intensität traten geringe oder keine Nebenwirkungen auf. Bei höheren Beschallungsintensitäten wurde eine noch höhere Aufnahme des Bakterienimpfstoffes, aber auch schädliche Nebenwirkungen beobachtet. Darüber hinaus zeigte LFS eine durch eine lokale Entzündungsreaktion und Aktivierung von T-Helferzellen in den Kiemen charakterisierte, Adjuvans-ähnliche Wirkung. Ein Impfversuch mit Koi Karpfen und einem inaktivierten Impfstoff gegen das Koi-Herpesvirus zeigte, dass LFS das Potential hat, den mit einer Tauchbadimpfung erzielbaren Immunschutz zu verbessern. LFS konnte auch für die Verabreichung anderer Substanzen wie Antibiotika verwendet und die Aufnahme von Oxytetracyclin um den Faktor fünf erhöht werden. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Effektivität einer Tauchbadimpfung von Fischen mit LFS durch die gesteigerte Impfstoffaufnahme und dessen Adjuvans-ähnlichen Wirkung verbessert werden kann. Darüber hinaus könnte mithilfe LFS die therapeutische Dosis von Antibiotika bei Badbehandlungen verringert werden. Es erfordert jedoch noch weitere Studien, um diese Technologie aus dem Labor in die Praxis zu übertragen. / In aquaculture, the use of prevention methods, such as vaccination of fish, is an effective strategy to avoid infectious diseases. However, the most effective route of vaccination for fish is the one-by-one intraperitoneal injection, which that is very laborious and expensive to apply for billions of fish every year. Low Frequency Sonophoresis (LFS) has been recognized as one of the most advanced technologies in transdermal delivery of substances in mammals. Thus, it has been suggested to use LFS to enhance the uptake of substances in fish during bath treatments. The present study shows that a low sonication intensity of ca. 60 mW/cm^2 at 37 kHz increased the uptake of a bacterin into the gill tissue of rainbow trout by up to a factor of 240. At this intensity, no or only minimal side effects occurred. At higher sonication intensities, an even higher bacterin uptake but also deleterious side effects were observed. In addition, LFS showed an adjuvant-like effect characterized by a local inflammatory response and T-helper cell activation in the gills. A vaccination trial with koi carp and an inactivated vaccine against the Koi Herpes Virus (KHV) showed that LFS has the potential to enhance the immune protection achieved by immersion vaccination. In addition LFS can also be used for the administration of other substances, such as antibiotics, here we showed that the uptake of Oxytetracycline could be increased by factor five. In summary, the efficacy of the immersion vaccination of fish could be improved by low-frequency ultrasound due, to the increased vaccine uptake along with its adjuvant-like effect. Furthermore, LFS could also reduce the required therapeutic dose of antibiotics in bath treatments, making them more effective, cheaper and environmentally friendly. However, further practical studies will be required to transfer this technology from the lab to the field.
